Former Indian speedster Venkatesh Prasad on Sunday slammed a popular journalist named CJ Werleman for using communal remarks to hurt the sentiments of the Hindus in India.
The journalist took to his Twitter and backed the New Zealand cricket team to beat the Indian cricket team in the much-awaited World Test Championship final, however, the journalist came up with a communal remark to justify his comment and hurt the sentiments of many Indians. He wrote:
“I’m rooting for New Zealand in the ICC Test Championship Final because imagining 500 million Hindutva extremists being happy, even for a second, makes me miserable. “

“Whoever wins is fine, but what a sad low and miserable life this man is. The fact that this man is given an opportunity to write in publications speaks poorly of the publications. Get well soon Mr Miserable”
